Addressing attendees at the Scott Christian University graduation ceremony on Friday, Ruto urged university Vice-Chancellors to exercise understanding and patience toward such students.

He emphasized that the government is working to fully disburse scholarship funds and address challenges associated with the student-centered higher education model.

“As we navigate the changes brought about by the transition to the student-centred Higher Education Financing Model, I urge universities to exercise patience and understanding with students. This spirit of humane consideration is especially critical given the additional challenge posed by litigation, which could disrupt the implementation of the model.

“Therefore, I appeal to universities to allow students to sit for their end-of-semester examinations while awaiting the resumption of full disbursements once the court provides direction on the matter,” Ruto said.

President William Ruto emphasized that no student should be denied the chance to learn and succeed due to financial constraints.

He urged university leaders to ensure that all students are treated with compassion and given equal opportunities, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Ruto reiterated that the government is actively addressing challenges faced by universities as they transition from the previous funding structure to the new student-centered model.

The President reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to supporting both public and private universities, ensuring the continued growth and excellence of higher education in the country.

“It is for this reason that we have been deliberate in our efforts to resolve the financial crisis that brought our public universities to their knees. By 2022, public universities were grappling with immense financial challenges, having accumulated debts exceeding Sh60 billion. Of the 40 public universities, 23 were technically bankrupt and at risk of closure.”
